A praying mantis watches over the tomb of Grandmaster Wei Hsiao Tang in Taiwan. During his lifetime, Grandmaster Wei passed on a rare style of Kung Fu known as 8-Step Praying Mantis. If not for Grandmaster Wei, this unique branch of Northern Praying Mantis would have become extinct. Thanks to Grandmaster Wei and his loyal students who now teach students of their own, 8-Step Praying Mantis continues to grow.

This site is dedicated to the memory of Grandmaster Wei and the future growth of 8-Step Praying Mantis.
